The places for the fourth grade level were first place: Greensburg Elementary, second place: St. Mary’s Elementary and third place: North Decatur Elementary.
The fifth grade: first place: Greensburg Elementary, second place: North Decatur Elementary and third place: St. Mary’s Elementary. Sixth graders were represented by North Decatur Elementary in first place, St. Mary’s Elementary in 2nd place and South Decatur Elementary in third place.
